No prob, UT. ;)

Oh, and one more thing, what does this new hosting do for hosting projects? Can you guys host projects again? :)

This is a distinct possibility. :cool:

I thought something was amiss when I googled "Hard Light Forums" and Gamespy came up with a "not found" error...:D

Re: ANNOUNCEMENT: Welcome to HLP 3.0!
Oh... does this mean high traffic will cause site outages? That would suck. :(

For everything else, I'll pick it up as I go along, but it doesn't look bad so far! Time to head over to Grognards and see what the hosting status is...

For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well.

Thank Styxx for that. And blame me for it needing to be fixed. ;) I made the whole FAQ... and forgot to make it public-viewable. :D

Staff. Though there are specifics to it that... are a little tricky to explain. I'll let Sandwich handle that if he wants to.

Re: ANNOUNCEMENT: Welcome to HLP 3.0!
Finally! I was getting tired of hanging around the Anandtech forums all the time. :p The new layout looks great for the most part. Great work. :yes: Things appear to be loading very slowly at the moment though and a few small features from the old setup are missing. And I have to say I liked the old font much better. :p

Re: ANNOUNCEMENT: Welcome to HLP 3.0!
Regarding the domain/server... *deep breath*

In my previous job, the company leased a server dedicated to the company and the sites the company would host. When I left for another job, I departed on good terms. I also had a deal with my (now ex-) boss that I'd maintain a few of the client sites we had going, in return for "free" hosting for HLP - "free" meaning that after costs (see below), any income from the advertisements would go to him. He agreed. :)

The server we're on is in a server farm of 1&1, pretty much the largest hosting company in the world. It's based in Germany. Before we invaded moved here, the server was getting about 20-30Gb of traffic a month. Now, we have NO idea how much traffic HLP uses in that regard, but I think that we should be able to make do with the remaining 720-730Gb/month left. ;) :D

As for the domain, that we're paying for, flat out. It's not all that expensive, tho, but still.

Soooo... I'm not allowed to encourage you to click on banners to artificially generate clicks, but I will encourage you not to hesitate to pursue anything that interests you in the ads... such as... erm... Saftey.. Light.... Curtains... uhm... :nervous:

We'll talk. :D

Uh, uh! Uh! *raises hand viciously*

Talk to me too! :D
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Re: ANNOUNCEMENT: Welcome to HLP 3.0!
I think there was some hiccup a few minutes ago. It was giving an error that the server was full.
